Tattoo Secret Case Studies

SARAH – JOB INTERVIEW

Sarah is 20 years old and a student at Leicester University. She came to us for advice on how to hide her tattoo in order to get a job in catering. Most of the job applications wanted no tattoos or they needed to be covered at all times. Sarah has a green and red flower tattoo that creeps up from her foot to her ankle. We helped Sarah successfully cover her tattoo and get the job in catering!

Firstly, Maggie Richards, our camouflage expert, showed Sarah how to apply a good base to half of her tattoo so she could see the difference. In doing this you need to apply our lighter neutralising concealers that blank out the tattoo’s colour and black outline. If this stage is not done properly you will find that the tattoo’s outline will start to bleed through and you will soon be able to see it again.

After this stage was complete, we then matched her skin tone to our medium no.2 concealer colour. This was perfect for her olive skin tone. We applied this colour on top of the base and blended it in with the skin around it. We finished off with a dusting of Finishing powder that has been made to set the area and keep it covered for up to 12hrs. Maggie sprayed the area with our fixing spray for extra protection. She was all done and ready to go in 15 minutes!

Sarah was very happy with the finished results and confident that she could do it herself with a bit of practice. Our product is water resistant and will endure splashes and perspiration. For more advice please watch our step by step video below or email us at: beautydispensary@gmail.com.

BETH – HAD A FADED OLD TATTOO

Bethhad a tattoo that she no longer liked on her upper arm. She had this done when she was younger on top of an old scar. She had tried to have this tattoo removed via laser some years back, but she was left with a faded scared tattoo. She avoided wearing tops that revealed her tattoo and wanted to be able to cover it at work and weekends.

We helped Beth cover her tattoo using our medium colours and blended them together for a natural result. The issue with this tattoo, was that the skin was heavily scared and not smooth. We needed to get the under coat (neutralisers) right to remove any colour in order to achieve a an even result. The neutralisers are lighter in colour and help to blank out any colour from the old tattoo. The medium colours 1 and 2 where blended to create the right colour match for Beth. They were applied on top of the neutraliser base and finished off with our powder to set the area for up to 12hrs.

JULIE – GETTING MARRIED!

Julie is getting married and wants to hide her tattoo on her wrist. There’s another problem, her mother doesn’t know she has it. Whoops!

Firstly, Maggie Richards, our camouflage expert, showed Julie how to apply a good base to make sure it lasts all day. In doing this you need to apply our lighter neutralising concealers that blank out the tattoo’s colour and black outline. If this stage is not done properly you will find that the tattoo’s outline will start to bleed through and you will soon be able to see it again.

After this stage was complete, we then matched her skin tone to our medium no.2 and no.3 concealer colours. This was perfect for her olive skin tone. We applied this colour on top of the base and blended it in with the skin around it. We finished off with a dusting of Finishing powder that has been made to set the area and keep it covered for up to 12hrs. Maggie also sprayed the area with our fixing spray for extra protection. This stage was extra important as we didn’t want the product to transfer onto her dress. She was all done and ready to go in 20 minutes!

JACK – FULL SLEEVE TO HIDE!

Jack has a beautiful tattoo that is full of bright colours. Although he loves it, his mother isn’t so sure. He wanted to hide it for a familySummer BBQ. He wanted to be able to wear a normal t-shirt without showing his tattoo.

Nadia, our makeup artist, covered the area in half to illustrate the before and after that was achieved with our camouflage cream. When covering such a large tattoo, you need to first warm the camouflage cream on the back of your hand to make sure you can spread it easily. We found there was enough product in our pots to cover this large area.

Making sure a good base is achieved is critical for a natural, long lasting result. If like Jack you have a colourful tattoo, you need to spend some time making sure the base is correctly applied otherwise the tattoo will start to bleed through after a short time. Also, top tip for men, you may want to shave the area first to enable a smoother application.

Jack has fair skin so we used our Light 1 and 2 colours to achieve a natural result. We blended the areas well and powdered with our finishing powder to set the product. As Jack wanted to wear his t-shirt on top we used our finishing spray to help with any transfer and perspiration. Our product will last for up to 12hrs and is water resistant.

CHRISTINE – WANTED TO GO ON HOLIDAY WITHOUT HER TATTOO

Christine’s tattoo was on her tummy and she wanted to be able to cover it when she was on holiday wearing a bikini.

Using the medium colours on her, we were able to hide her tattoo with a natural result. It was a small area, but getting a good natural skin match meant it wasn’t noticeable when she was on the beach. She uses the finishing powder regularly after swimming to keep the area water resistant. It’s important to pat the area dry when coming out of the water, that way you keep the product in place and can re-spray with the fixing agent to keep a long lasting finish.
